Hint: Control Doppleganger:When you have Doppleganger style and a second controlleravailable, the player two can become the Doppleganger. This onlylasts until your Devil Trigger runs out. Note: If you are usingSuper Dante, player two can stay for as long as you keep the DevilTrigger on.

Hint: Control loading screen:You can do this at any type of loading screen. PressTriangle to slash the sign once. However, you can slashit as many times as desired. To slash a different way press Triangle+ D-pad. Once the sign turns blood red, hit the sign withan up slash (D-Pad Up + Triangle) and it will shatter.You can also shoot the sign but you must still do an up slashto break it.

Hint: Yamato secret:Each time Vergil successfully sheathes the Yamato afteran attack that uses the blade itself, he recovers a single DevilTrigger Gauge. Note: This does not apply to the Rapid Slash orJudgment Cut attacks.

Hint: Defeating Nevan:As Dante, you need Beowulf (Straight Level 2) and theTrickster style (Level 3 recommended). When the battle starts,Nevan will teleport herself onto the opera stage. Get close toher with either Dash (Level 1 and 2) or AirBlink (Level 3), butnot too close or she will teleport away. Try to choose a distanceso that she will make a spinning attack while you are unharmed.While she is spinning, charge up Straight and wait for her tostop. When she stops, quickly unleash Straight onto her. If donecorrectly, all of her bats will destroyed. If not, most of themwill be gone (your Devil Trigger will fill up as you execute thismove). Repeat this strategy until all of her bats are gone. Then,Devil Trigger and unleash your might onto Nevan, but make sureto stop attacking and stay away from her when the black spot underher gets too big and will hurt you if you dodge it too late. Noticewhen Nevan is teleporting, even though she is invisible but herbats are not. This gives you the advantage of seeing where willshe be when she teleports. After recovering herself, Nevan willteleport away. Follow the bats and get close to her and repeatthe prior strategy. If you are too late, she will execute othermoves. Dodge them to avoid being hurt. When Nevan summons lightningthat affects the whole floor, double jump or AirBlink to avoidit. Repeat the strategy above until Nevan is defeated. Note: Whenher health is low, Nevan will try to kiss you in order to replenishher health with yours. Simply Devil Trigger so that she will notbe able to kiss you, and you can attack her because her bats aregone when she executes this move. As Vergil, you need Yamato (Judgment Cut Level 2). Repeat thesame strategy as Dante, but instead of using Beowulf, you needto charge up the Judgment Cut with Yamato and unleash them whenNevan stops spinning to destroy her bats. Repeat the strategyuntil the bats are gone. Then, do same strategy as playing asDante; Devil Trigger and starts attacking her but stop when theblack spot under her gets too big. Because Vergil does not havedouble jump, when Nevan summons the all-lightning move, use precisetiming to jump when the floor is struck by the lightning. Then,repeat the same strategy until she is defeated. Remember not toget too close to Nevan when or before she does the spinning attackso she will not teleport away or hurt you when she is spinning.

Hint: Mundus reference:Complete the game and get the Vergil ending, wherehe falls down in the pool of blood. There will be three roundand red electric orbs that he says he could defeat if his fatherdid it. This is most likely Mundus, the last Boss from the firstgame, because Vergil obviously loses and succumbs to Mundus' power.

Hint: Corrupt Vergil's Nelo Angelo DevilTrigger moves:Once Vergil uses Devil Trigger in these two costumes,his moves change depending on the weapon selected. He can stilluse Spiral Swords and the Dark Slayer style. These moves are specificallyfor Vergil's Devil Trigger state with one of his Corrupt Costumesselected.

Press R1 + Back + Triangle: A single slashupwards tosses enemies in the air.

Hold Triangle: Jumps into the air after them, just likeDante's Hightime.

Press Triangle while in the air: A downward slash withhis sword, just like Dante's Helm Breaker.

Press R1 + Forward + Triangle: A lunge forwardwith a large horizontal slash of his sword, similar to the Yamato'sRapid Slash.

Beowulf selectedPress Triangle(3): A combo of three hand-to-hand hitson an enemy, with the final hit knocking them away.

Any Weapon selectedHold Triangle, then release and press Triangle(2):Fire off one to three spheres of dark energy, depending on yourtiming.

Glitch: Shadow:In any mission when playing with Dante's last costume(Super Sparda), look at his shadow on the ground without DevilTrigger on. It should resemble Dante's DT form even though itis a different character.
